Re: German & Allied radar
Crumpp, interesting!
in the evening of 14.9.40 of the 21 Spitfire/Hurricane sqns of 11 Group six sqns had 14 serviceable fighters, 5 sqns 15, 2 sqns 16, 2 sqns 19 and one sqn each 10, 11, 12, 13, 17 and 18 serviceable fighters according to Price’s Battle of Britain Day Appendix D and none had 22 a/c, best equipped was 607 Sqn which had 19 serviceable and 1 u/s Hurricane(s) . Seven sqns had 19 serviceable + u/s a/c. Altogether 11 Group had that evening 310 serviceable Spitfires and Hurricanes ie average 14,76 per sqn.
BTW 15 Aug was the only day when the Lfl 5 made a substantial attack from Norway, not a very representive day.
